The Dozen Wheel

Worksheet Description

The worksheet features a circular diagram where students must complete the addition of the central number with the numbers in the inner circle, writing the sums in the corresponding outer blank spaces. The central number in this particular wheel is 12, and the numbers 1 through 12 are placed in the inner circle segments. The task is to add the number 12 to each of the numbers in the inner circle and write the results in the outer circle spaces. Surrounding the wheel, there are blank circles where students can write additional equations or sums they’ve calculated.

The worksheet is designed to improve students’ proficiency with addition, specifically focusing on the number 12. It provides an exercise in quick mental addition, reinforcing the ability to add a fixed number to a sequence of numbers from 1 to 12. This method of practice also helps in recognizing the patterns that emerge when consistently adding the same number to different addends. By having students write their own equations in the surrounding circles, it further engages them in the learning process, allowing them to explore the concepts of addition and number patterns more freely.

You will add a dozen to each of the addends that are provided. You will also write out a bunch of sum equations.
